Three big earthen jarp. oil succossivo shelves, and a fourth and lowest one with a wooden cover, constitute the whole clepsydra, The water descends by slow drops from one jar to another, the brass scale on a float in tho last jar telling the hours as it rises. Every afternoon at 5 o'clock sineo 1321 a.d,, tho lowest jar has been emptiod, tho upper ono filled, nnd tho clock thus wound up for another day.
